March Madness, Taxes, Friday the 13th and #BestOfThisWeek
The upcoming weeks are going to be a thrilling time for all the basketball enthusiasts out there, as we gear up for the entry tournaments of the NCAA March Madness Tournament and the CIS Men’s Basketball finals (in Toronto) this weekend. I, for one, am ecstatic about this and feel absolutely elated. As a passionate basketball fan, I eagerly await the games, especially the opening rounds, to witness any surprising upsets and the rise of the underdogs, also known as the “Cinderella Team,” who will undoubtedly capture our hearts.
It’s tax time, too, folks; you should have all of your tax receipts by now, so get your tax returns done, get your refund, or wait until the last day to make your payment to the CRA. If you wonder, “Should I do my taxes?”, yes!
A second Friday the 13th? Thanks to a Friday the 13th in February, there is one in March. It is followed by a Saturday when the Formula 1 racing season begins, so it can’t be that bad a Friday, can it? The snow is melting in Ottawa (as well), which will make it a better Friday.
Watch next week as I will celebrate 10 years of writing online. I’m not sure what that will entail, but remember I have about 2800 articles.
My Writings for the Week Ending March 13th
I am still fighting off the remnants of that horrible flu I picked up two weeks ago, but I managed to write a couple of articles this week. :
- Financial Daylight Savings is me having a poke at the idea of how Daylight Savings makes days longer, and how debt is pretty darn similar to that (in terms of a BIG lie).
- Thanks for the $2000 CRA is pointing out to those who can get the new Family Credit, should make sure they are getting it. I checked over my return on Turbotax and sure enough, there it was (very nice). It would even be better without the $2000 cap, but it’s a good start.
- Illness, K-Cups, Interest Rates and #BestOfThisWeek
